Road connectivity to the remote Shi-Yomi district in Arunachal Pradesh snapped after a bridge was washed away in the floods triggered by incessant rains over the last couple of days, officials said on Friday.
Shi-Yomi district, bordering China, was cut-off from the rest of the country after the RCC bridge (reinforced cement concrete) near Yapik village on the Aalo-Mechuka Road was washed away on Wednesday night, they said.
Transportation of people and essential commodities to the remote district would be badly affected as it is likely to take days to restore the bridge, the officials told, adding that people travelling between Mechuka and Aalo were also left stranded.
